In Decline but Fixable
I used to listen to every episode. It was great for brand new writers. Unfortunately, over time, the 15-minute format has limited deep dives into topics. Also, the hosts have become increasingly political and navel-gazing to the point that it’s almost not listenable. Every new season I give it a try to see if it’s improved, but it’s sadly only declined. Suggestions: (1) longer format for more rich/relevant info, (2) more guests to prevent navel-gazing, (3) avoid politics to prevent toxic, peachy tone. I’d love to be a regular listener again.

More reviews of Writing Excuses
I love this podcast. I've learned so much from it that when I go to writing conferences, I keep saying to myself, "Yes, I already learned that in Writing Excuses!" Whenever I run into somebody wants to become a published author, I recommend this podcast to them.Read full review »

Probably the best podcast out there focusing on writing craft in genre fiction. The authors have the credentials to back up their advice.

The entire cast is made up of incredibly gifted writers. Every podcast is entertaining and extremely informative. Even though they rarely stay within their 15min limit they always stay on topic. 10/10 every writer should listen to this
